Answer: With no choices given here, here are a few possibilities.

If it is not a right triangle, the third side could be any number less than 50 cm

If it is a right triangle, the third side could be the hypotenuse, which would be 10√13 or about 36.05 cm.

If 30cm is the hypotenuse, the other side would be 10√5 or about 22.36 cm

Step-by-step explanation: If the two given sides add up to 50, they flatten out to a straight line, equal to the third side, so it is no longer a triangle. The third side must be less than the sum of the other two sides.

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem a² + b² = c² to calculate the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.

For example

20² + 30² = c²

400 + 900 = c²

1300 = c²

√1300 = √(100)(13) = √c²

10√13 = c ≈ 36.05

Find the value of x when m<2 = x + 64

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle has two sides that are the same, so it is an isosceles triangle. Therefore, the base angles are the same.

Angles of a triangle add up to 180°, so:

70 + (x + 64) + (x + 64) = 180

70 + 2x + 128 = 180

2x = -18

x = -9

Prove that sinxtanx=1/cosx - cosx

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to prove that

$\sin(x)\tan(x) = \dfrac{1}{\cos(x)} - \cos(x), \forall x \in\mathbb{R}$

Taking the RHS, note

$\dfrac{1}{\cos(x)} - \cos(x) = \dfrac{1}{\cos(x)} - \dfrac{\cos(x) \cos(x)}{\cos(x)} = \dfrac{1-\cos^2(x)}{\cos(x)}$

Remember that

$\sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) =1 \implies 1- \cos^2(x) =\sin^2(x)$

Therefore,

$\dfrac{1-\cos^2(x)}{\cos(x)} = \dfrac{\sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)} = \dfrac{\sin(x)\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

Once

$\dfrac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)} = \tan(x)$

Then,

$\dfrac{\sin(x)\sin(x)}{\cos(x)} = \sin(x)\tan(x)$

Hence, it is proved

On a bicycle, Miranda rides for 4 hours and is 50 miles from her house. After riding for 6 hours, she is 74 miles away. What is

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

<h2> Miranda's rate is 12 hours per mies.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given by question,

Miranda began her ride from home merely that she was 50 miles away from home after 4 hours of riding.

To find, Miranda's rate = ?

2 hours later she was 974 miles from home.

∴ 2 hours she rode = 74 miles - 50 miles

Miranda rides 24 miles in 2 hours.

∴ Miranda rides in 1 hour = $\dfrac{24}{2}$ $\dfrac{miles}{hour}$

= $12$ $\dfrac{miles}{hour}$

Thus, Miranda's rate is 12 hours per mies.
